COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONChimay Tripel, with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast.
The beer’s flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma.
The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth.
This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, wheat starch, sugar, hop extract and yeast. See Protz (beer-pages.com/protz/features/chimay.htm) and John White (www.whitebeertravels.co.uk/chimay.html)

Copenhagen 4/1 2015. 33 cl bottle from Netto. Very foamy when you open it. Pours hazy gold with solid white head. Aroma of alcohol, malts and yeast. Medium low carbonation. Taste is dominated by the high alcohol content. Taste is sweetish supplemented by strong notes of alcohol. Slight bitterness in aftertaste. I have tasted better Belgians.
